If the inbounder is the most forgettable player on these types of plays, then the release option is the second most forgettable. This was an impressive set for Rick Barnes to draw up after a timeout. They a screen-the-screener play and then had all of the players space out around the perimeter. This allowed the release option to cut to the hoop for the open dunk. This play helped Tennessee separate themselves for the upset.
1 sets a screen for 4 as 3 extends out as a release.
5 then sets a screen for 1 cutting to the corner.
4 and 5 space out as 3 dives to the rim.
